My Take
Blanche Baker appeals to me as a creator, not just a performer. An Emmy winner for Holocaust, memorable as Ginny in Sixteen Candles, and bold enough to play Lolita on Broadway, she clearly never feared range. But what I find most telling is her move into screenwriting and producing. Actors who take authorship of their stories interest me, because it signals a hunger to control the work rather than wait to be cast. Her Wellesley education and that creative restlessness fit together. I admire artists who refuse to surrender the pen, and Baker reads exactly like one.
